Wow! I love that simultaneous view of two different angles, very cool to see all this new material from you! Have you thought about doing one where you just talk about the history of your work and your life as an artist/craftsman? That would be super interesting. Maybe the AAW would give you the footage from your talk at AAW Kansas City to upload here!
Here from Rex Kreuger's channel and really happy I followed his advice to visit your channel! A joy to watch! Subscribed and looking forward to watching a lot more of your videos!
You hammered out another fun video. You tapped into your skills to bang out a useful tool. The gavel is down, you can beetle with the best of them. Thanks.
Enjoy your videos very much. I get this soothing feeling watching you work. Relaxing way to experience turning while learning. Look forward to my next turning session, even more, after watching your videos.
Love how you make turning so accessible (at least it feels like it, I know it’s not as easy as it looks), but one feels inspired by the pleasure you seem to have. Still in the market for a lathe but hungry to get started! Best turning channel out there at least for me. As some others have pointed out, the camera work is getting better and better as well. Thx Richard👍😊
This is a wonderful video, Richard! Regarding the long point of the skew and the short corner, at one point you mentioned you preferred to not have the skew steel 90 deg to the lathe’s axis. Would you expand on that more please? What are the advantages and disadvantages of 90 deg to axis versus 45 deg off axis?
Using the skew chisel long point down means less tool pressure against the lathe axis, not that there should be much anyway, and I find it easier to turn a smooth curve if the tool blade is pointing more in the direction I'm cutting than at 90 degrees to the surface I'm shaping. Chapter 4 in 'Turning Wood with Richard Raffan' pages 68-85 deal with tool handling and specifically cutting and cutting angles on pages 80-85.
Two years on, I have no idea of the blank dimensions. It looks to be about 65x200mm. I usually try to use all of a blank without too much waste once any defects are removed.
It’s a pleasure to watch a video of someone so skilled who is also extremely articulate with their narrative. Thank you!
It's funny to think even Richard Raffan is tickled when he doesn't have to sand a piece. :-)

I'm starting to write about my life as turner but I've no idea when that might be ready for publication.

Lovely video, thanks. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos.
i love the way you domthe handle thanks a lotmfor your explaintion!!!
You are a Joy to watch Richard. Thank you for sharing.
I knew that the long tip of the skew made the wood vibrate less but I didn't know why, thanks Richard. 👍👍👍
Good looking mallet. Nice tutorial on using all sides/edges of the skew.
Always learn something new in your videos.
I’m still using the carvers mallet I made from an old oak railway sleeper years ago, it’s heavy enough !
You made it look so easy. Thanks
Nice job. Thank you for sharing 🌞
My erstwhile best friend was a Turner; Richard Turner!

"Rough as guts?" I have a new saying to use on my English friend.
Très jolie et pratique comme outil bravo Richard 👍👏🇨🇭
Merci beaucoup!
what were the dimensions of the block when you started?
Two years on, I have no idea of the blank dimensions. It looks to be about 65x200mm. I usually try to use all of a blank without too much waste once any defects are removed.
@@RichardRaffanwoodturning Thank you Richard. You are the absolute best wood turning teacher.
👍
That skew I the one tool that scares me when I use it
Good day please tell me the name brand make of your large I like your work and want to buy a large thank you
Large?? I'm using a Vicmarc VL150 lathe if that's what you're asking.
Not using a skew to rough turn a square blank?!?! Who are you and what have you done with Richard Raffan?
This was for those who don't know a bowl gouge can be used for some spindle work.
